yeah i saw that, i bet you it costs a lot of money to insure it though.

[chiefsfan101]

I thought it'd sell for over 10k

i just dont think its worth it, i mean i would much rather go buy a few cases of something then buy abes hair! I guess to some it is more a piece of history, but i still see it as hair.

I absolutely agree! Besides that, it doesn't even look like a hair. It looks like an eyelash, or maybe they pulled this from his chin.

it depends, do have the ability and resources to clown my own army of abraham lincolns with that piece of hair? if so, it was a steal. ; )

[thertz]

major ripoff, that card is a small strand of hair from a prez, and it is DEFINITELY NOT WORTH that much, I would not buy it for 100 dollars if I couldnt sell it

[Ducks3087]

Like the old saying goes. its worth what people are willing to pay for it.

[jaderock]

I voted Should had been more

[aceecards]

Im surprised ..

I think the piece of hair cards have a bit of creepiness about them?

[maple19]

I Though it Would Gone Higher

As For S&H if I Was Buying A Card Like That What A Extra Couple Bucks
To The Buyer ...

yeah i thought it would go for more, but i still dont think it is worth it. i guess that should have been the real poll question, is this card worth the money? i would so buy a bunch of other stuff b4 i bought this

[artyman60]

There should be a "thats what i figured it would go for" choice I really didnt see it selling for 5 figures but knew it would be close.

[DamnWS6]

the historical significance of the card is ridiculous. if i had the cash id gladly pay 20gs for it. imagine how much that crap will be worth in a decade or two when we can use his dna to clone his butt.

i dont know, if thats true than this was a huge investment!

[Baseball2009]

It all depends on how much money you have and what you collect. If your into historical figures and have the cash than whats the problem with paying for that or more. If you dont then you probably think it is ridiculous to spend that much. Just my opinion

[dodgerblue38501]

I agree with Ace, the hair cards are a bit creepy. I think most of us are looking at this from a SPORTS card collectors point of view. This really isn't a sports card at all, even though it was packaged into a baseball card product, it is a historical artifact. I think cards like this will attract collectors from other areas and bring them to the sports card market. I bet the buyer was either a super high end card collector/dealer or a collector of historical/Presidential stuff.

[bostonbruinsandceltics]

good thinking, i apreciate everyones comments on this subject. I however, am still not convinced that a strand of hair from any historical leader is worth that much!!! Maybee if it was like legendary cuts were they add the signature
